They go to the hospital with a clipboard, they begin to interview the Doctor for their "relationship education" class.

In Love Is..., Anya states that love is not being able to focus in class, which she states isn't practical because she has a test next week.

She calls herself pathetic, saying she always goes after guys she can't have, mentioning Sav Bhandari and the arranged marriage issues they had in their relationship, and now a man she barely knows. She thinks of the idea to fake sick so she could go and see him, saying to check her heart rate, but then realizing it's a bad idea because he would be able to hear how fast it was beating.
